FridayNightPulse Training Tip: Mill Valley Jaguars CB Drill
For cornerbacks at 5A programs like Mill Valley Jaguars, a key component of success is the ability to quickly change direction and maintain speed. To improve this, we recommend the 'L-Cone Weave' drill. Set up 5 cones in an 'L' shape, with the top cone 10 yards from the starting point. The CB begins in a 3-point stance, then weaves through the cones, focusing on inside footwork and keeping their eyes on the top cone. Complete 3 sets of 10 reps, resting 30 seconds between sets. Coaching cues include 'keep your head on a swivel' and 'drive through the cone.' This drill translates to game performance by allowing CBs to quickly change direction and stay in phase with receivers, making it an essential component of any 5A program's defensive training regimen.
